ProtoCrewMember.ChangeName(string) doesn't work in 1.4.1

[severedsolo]

As the title says, this method works fine in 1.3.1 but in 1.4.1 it just ignores the name change. I've raised it on the bug tracker but does anyone know an alternative way to rename kerbals?

sorry pasted from phone but this works for me in MCE but I'm changing name right when they are created.

public static void SpawnCivilianKerbMCE(int KerbNumbers) { int TestCivs = 1; foreach (string name2 in SaveInfo.TourisNames) { if (TestCivs <= KerbNumbers) { ProtoCrewMember newKerb = HighLogic.CurrentGame.CrewRoster.GetNewKerbal(ProtoCrewMember.KerbalType.Tourist); newKerb.rosterStatus = ProtoCrewMember.RosterStatus.Available; newKerb.ChangeName(name2); TestCivs++; Debug.Log("MCE Created Civilian " + newKerb.name + " " + newKerb.gender); } }

Cheers, JPLRepo helped me out, they moved the order of the GameEvent I was using, so I just needed to use onKerbalAddComplete instead of onKerbalAdded. False alarm folks.
